`ca-bundle.crt` is actually just a text file with a list of certificates,
so I’m not sure what the error you get can possibly refer to. It should be
perfectly fine to do what you are trying to do.
Could it be that there was an error in your nix expression (e.g. you had
`.source` instead of `.text` or something like this)?
`Argument list too long` typically means that you're are trying to `cp`,
`mv` or something like this too many files in a single invocation. What is
exactly the shell command that produces the error?
